Any way to set a cell to Auto Goal-Seek

In a spreadsheet I'm using, one of the value's for a cell, should always be manipulated using a goal-seek to another cell.

i.e.
Cell A1 is value of B1/B2
B2 is = to C1/C2
In order to figure out A1, I do a goal seek, Set Cell A1 to Value 6, By changing cell C2.

Is there a way that I can set a formula or something along those lines to have cell A1 permanently be a Goal-Seek value?
So that anyone who just picks up the spreadsheet can have Cell A1 goal seek and change cell C2.

Thank you!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I guess I should have specified more, that's not the exact formula I am trying to figure out.

The one I am trying to figure out consists of about 30 other formula's figuring into different cell's just was trying to describe it in an easier manner.

I see. In that case, if you want to change C1 using goal seek, you need vba. Either a button or a worksheet change event.

You can easily test it.

Record 1 goal seek with the macro recorder. Insert a button and assign it the macro you recorded.

I took 5 min of my life to register to this forum and say that i hate clever pple like you! Of course it's not THAT simple! I'm using sinh and cosh functions and also need sort of auto goal seek / solver in my sheet. Sometimes you jus't cant just solve for "x"


Hi

Why don't you use a formula?

In C2:

=A1*C1/B1
